FIA GT3 European Championship 2012

The 2012 FIA GT3 European Championship was the seventh season of the FIA GT3 European Championship . Six events were held, each with two races. This resulted in a total of twelve races.

The season started on April 8th in Nogaro , the season finale was held on September 23rd at the Nürburgring .

Race calendar and results

The events in Nogaro , Zolder and Moscow were new to the racing calendar . Silverstone , Le Castellet and the Slovakiaring have been removed from the calendar . As in the previous year, the season finale was initially supposed to take place in Zandvoort , but after the schedule changes in the FIA GT1 World Championship , the race in Moscow was brought forward and the final held at the Nürburgring .

Thus, all races were held as part of the FIA GT1 World Championship . On the last two race weekends, the GT3 European Championship started together with the FIA ​​GT1 World Championship. This measure was necessary due to the small number of starters in both championships.
